Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, Moral Monday Architect, President and Senior Lecturer of Repairers of the Breach and Co-Chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, digs deep in to religious and American history to remind us all that real preaching is more than just standing behind a pulpit.

Building A

Moral Movement

who we are

Some issues are not left versus right, but right versus wrong.

Repairers of the Breach is a nonpartisan 501 (c) 3 tax exemptnot-for-profit organization that seeks to build a moral agenda rooted in a framework that uplifts our deepest moral and constitutional values to redeem the heart and soul of our country. We challenge the position that the preeminent moral issues are prayer in public schools, abortion, and property rights. Instead, we declare that the moral public concerns of our faith traditions are how our society treats the poor, women, LGBTQ people, children, workers, immigrants, communities of color, and the sick. Our deepest moral traditions point to equal protection under the law, the desire for peace within and among nations, the dignity of all people, and the responsibility to care for our common home.

OUR MISSION

We organize, train, and work with a diverse school of prophets from every US state and the District of Columbia who are rebuilding, raising up, and repairing the moral infrastructure of our country.

OUR TEAM

We are organizers, faith leaders, and volunteers based in North Carolina. We work alongside diverse moral activists across the country who are leading moral movements in their states.

OUR PRESIDENT

The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II is the president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach. An author, preacher, and professor, he is the chief architect of the "Forward Together Moral Movement."

Poor People's Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival

Drawing on the unfinished work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967/68 Poor People’s Campaign, which called for a “revolution of values,” Repairers of the Breach is working in partnership with the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, the Popular Education Project, and hundreds of local and national partners, to lead the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. This multi-state movement has emerged from more than a decade of work by grassroots community and religious leaders, organizations, and movements fighting to end systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, environmental destruction, and other injustices.

TRAININGS & EVENTS

We organize, train, and work with a diverse school of prophets from every US state and the District of Columbia who are rebuilding, raising up, and repairing the moral infrastructure of America. While the impacts of extremism in our politics and public policy are often described through data, our trainings are always organized alongside people who are directly impacted and organizing their own communities, so that we can always put a human face on extremism.

Moral Political Organizing Leadership Institute Summit

We facilitate Moral Political Organizing Leadership Institute Summit (MPOLIS) trainings for moral activists across the country. Our training program helps build tools for movement organizing and social policy analysis and articulation.

The Gathering: A Time For Reflection, Revival & Resistance

The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove host this highly spiritual and issue-based gathering in North Carolina to equip our movement with resources for faithful reflection and public action on moral issues. The gatherings feature interviews and keynotes by impacted persons. A podcast is available on SoundCloud and iTunes.

In partnership with hundreds of local and national organizations, we host mass meetings in states across the country to discuss the impacts of systemic racism, systemic poverty, the war economy, and ecological devastation. The mass meetings feature testimonies and keynotes by impacted persons and campaign leadership.
